Well, it is official. Barack Obama chooses Delaware Sen. Joe Biden as his running mate. Obama did this as a political move to have someone with foreign policy experience, something of which he lacks. Biden has a good 30 years of it, so if he wanted to have some foreign policy creds, he may now have some.
That said, Joe Biden ran in the 2008 presidental election, alongside Obama. For Obama, this may not come as good news, as Biden was considered a 'fringe' candidate by dems, and thus, hasn't been given the nomination. Personally, it is better than Hil-dog, as Obama would run the slight chance of 'turning up missing' if you know what I mean. ;)
Also, a light may be at the end of the tunnel when it comes to Iraq. The deal being struck out is that we would be out by 2011. However, I believe that it is imperative to get out now (or at least ASAP). We shouldn't have to go another $1-1.5 trillion in debt for something where a few corporations profit from. Also, people & Iraqi cameramen such as Ali al-Mashhadani, wouldn't be imprisoned without probable cause for 26 days by a foreign occupator. By the way, this is the second time he has been wrongfully held, the first time was held for five months.
I don't know about you, but I think that this would be called hypocrisy, as this goes against the Constitution, supposedly the supreme law of the land. Unfortunately, it looks like neither of our mainstream options are going to do us any good, as since it is looking more likely Obama can get away without being accountable from his supporters, he is not going to help us out, and as for McCain, well, just look at him. Lying about how many properties he owns (his staff claimed he had four, but actually he has seven, worth about $14 million total).
Also, Dubya recently told doctors that if they don't want to because they object, then they don't have to provide abortions or birth control to those who may want/need it. As for that, well, this is nothing new. Now however, if the employer doesn't accomodate, then they lose federal funding. Again, the loss of freedom for the many by the hands of a few.
Enough of that for right now though. Right now, I am doing okay. I helped my friend Andrew move in yesterday. I will take him over to Spin Street today (after I get my money) and show him around. I better get going soon though, some rain from Fay is coming in.
